The main advantages of high-frequency electronic ballasts for high-intensity discharge lamps are high luminous efficacy, small size, lightweight and longer lifetime. This is why high-intensity discharge lamps operating at high frequency are widely used. This paper proposes an approach for designing resonant circuit electronic ballasts controlled by frequency variation for high-intensity discharge lamps. The proposed technique including an AC/DC rectifier, a power factor correction circuit and a DC/AC half bridge inverter. These electronic ballasts offer a wide range of dimming controls and can avoid acoustic resonance. However, under dimming, the electric and photometric characteristics of the lamp change. In order to study these effects under the process of dimming, this work studies the lamp properties by varying both lamp power and operating frequency.
